Ingredients

• 1 box graham crackers
• 2 boxes vanilla instant pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Chocolate Topping
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chip (semi-sweet)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Using a mixer, mix heavy cream until you have soft peaks. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until stiff peaks. Set aside.
Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with a layer of graham crackers. Break then into squares or smaller to make them fit.
In a large bowl mix together 2 boxes of pudding mix with 3 cups of milk. Whisk until well combined. Fold in the prepared whipped cream.
Pour 1/2 of pudding mixture over graham crackers. Repeat with another layer of crackers, and the remaining pudding. Top with a 3rd layer of graham crackers.
In a small sauce pan mix together all of the ingredients for the chocolate topping. Whisk and cook until the sugar is dissolved, but do not boil. Cook for about 5 minutes over a very low simmer. You can test on your finger or taste to see if it is smooth and the sugar is dissolved
Pour over graham crackers, spreading evenly.
Place in fridge for 4-6 hours until chocolate is completely set.
